I just tested with my gmail account, and you want:
smtpencryption=tls
smtpserver=smtp.gmail.com
smtpuser=programmingk...@gmail.com
smtpserverport = 587
smtppass = yourpassword
(or give the password on the command line)
If you are using 2-factor-authentication with gmail then you will
need to create an "application-specific password" in the GMail
Account Settings and use that (click 'Sign-in & security' then
'App passwords', click 'other' to enter a custom name (like
"git send-email") and press the 'generate' button to generate
a password; note that the generated password doesn't have any
spaces in it, despite the way they format it on screen).
I also recommend the following settings in your [sendemail] section:
chainreplyto=false
assume8bitEncoding=UTF-8
(though these are only for formatting of the email and won't
affect whether it sends or not).

Yep. (You may need to use the --to option if you didn't
specify it to git format-patch.)
Also send-email has a --dry-run switch for checking it's going
out with a sensible email address, destination, etc.
If you're using git from homebrew on a Mac you may need to
follow the first part of this web page to install the necessary
TLS support in homebrew's Perl:
